Profile:

For nearly a decade as a player, GS Ramchand served Indian cricket in various capacities. As an aggressive middle order batsman, as a medium pace bowler, known for his stamina, accuracy and movement of the ball under helpful conditions, as a fearless close in fieldsman and as an able captain. He made his debut on the tour to England in 1952 and till 1960 was more or less a regular member of the side. As a utility man, Ramchand proved his value to the side time and again with a series of courageous knocks or a devastating spell with the ball. Perhaps Ramchand's quintessential performance with the bat was his 109 against Australia at Bombay in 1956 when he held the innings together against a strong attack which included Lindwall, Davidson and Benaud. He also hit a breezy 106 not out earlier in the same year against New Zealand at Calcutta. With the ball his best performance was six for 49 in 28 overs against Pakistan at Karachi in 1954-55. On the tour of England he scored 644 runs in first class matches at 24.76, took 64 wickets (25.85) and held 20 catches for a weak side.

Perhaps Ramchand's greatest contribution to Indian cricket came in his last series. Appointed as captain as a desperate measure, he led the side capably against a strong Australian team, captained by Richie Benaud. Australia won the series 2-1 when the general forecast had been 4-0 in their favour and Ramchand earned a lot of praise for his shrewd handling of limited resources. In the Ranji Trophy, Ramchand was one of the Bombay stalwarts for many years during their halcyon days and scored 2569 runs (average 75,55) with ten centuries. His career highest was 230 not out for Bombay against Maharashtra in 1950-51 and his best bowling in an innings was eight for 12 against Saurashtra in 1959-60. Later Ramchand was a popular manager for Indian teams. (Partab Ramchand)
